Hold the three high cards (ace, king, queen) to maximize chances of making one or more paying high pairs, with additional straight possibilities.

Hold the pair of sevens; the made pair offers stronger expected value than the weak straight draw.

Hold the pair of jacks for the made paying hand and strong improvement chances to two pair, trips, full house, or quads.

Hold the pair of nines. Drawing three cards to a made pair has substantially stronger value than pursuing the weak partial heart/straight possibilities.

Hold the pair of fours; a made pair has stronger expected value than the weak three-card spade draw.
